It was the day: The 7th grade football B team became district CHAMPS!!!! YAY!!!! GO middle child o' mine!!!!! (I really need to upload some pics but who has time??) They remained UNDEFEATED this season! And it's his FIRST year playing football! The funny thing is the 7th grade A team hasn't won a game. And up until this week (we don't know about this week - which is why I'm not including it) the 8th grade A AND B teams hadn't even been able to score ANY touchdowns! So YOU GO 7th grade ****B**** team!!!! You ROCK! (and T doesn't think he wants to play next year - lol! He wanted to try it out - and he did! Now we're going on to basketball and tennis - though I may limit him to just ONE - not both)
Oh - yeah - the other thing that happened on the 4th - America may have "lost" that day. Obama became president elect. I'm less than thrilled to say the least. They say it's a historic moment b/c he's the first black president - and it's huge. (but wasn't Bill Clinton the first black president? Didn't he tell us that??? LOL!) But see - I thought that the dream that Martin Luther King Jr had was based on the black man getting ahead based on skill and his mind and ability, not b/c of race. At the time he was held back b/c of race. Now we've elected a president b/c of his race. Race was a HUGE issue in this election - and it became so due in large part thanks to Obama himself. Whites were made to have this "white guilt" if we didn't want to vote for him. People were attacked and called racist. We're a racist nation if we don't elect a black president. How is he elected based on ability, skill, ideals? We have a man that has questionable terrorist ties, associations w/ a reverse racist pastor, voter fraud, real estate fraud, socialist policy ideals, etc. (and people were concerned b/c Palin was connected w/ large shopping bills? Or b/c now of infighting in the party and "he said/she said" moments based on geography and such making her look ditzy? I'd rather have a ditzy VEEP than a socialist/terrorist-loving pres - but hey, that's just me.) He wants to take away our freedoms. He SAYS he's bipartisan and he'll bring the country together.
Now it's 3 days later - and his chief of staff is R. Emmanuel - a Republican HATER (telling Rs to go {blank} themselves). He's came from Chicago politics - which is about as corrupt as you can get - and now he's bringing that to the white house.
The Dems want to re-enact the Fairness Doctrine - so the news media has to present a "fair and balanced" story to the public. Who determines if it's "fair and balanced"? It's a way to get rid of the conservative media is what it is.
I'm trying to be hopeful in the new guy. I'm trying to be prayerful for our nation. but it's very hard knowing what our prophets of old have prophesied for our times. And wondering if this is when things REALLY start to happen? You know - the communists have long sighted visions - they don't make decisions based on NOW or even just a few years from now. They look WAY WAY WAY down the road. And the Russsians, even back in the 60's - were determined to take down America. And they weren't goign to do it with force. They vowed to destroy us from the inside. And that's exactly what is happening. We need to be a unified nation - but how do I stand behind a man I don't trust or believe in?
The dad is reading an article on the making of a fuehrer - and how hitler came to power (not his massacre history but his rise to power); and Iran's leader Khomeini. Here's the link if your interested.
Gotta run - or rather walk - it's the Walk for Diabetes day!
Btw - LOVE the wii fit!!!!
WELCOME TO OUR HOLE IN THE WALL!
We're a crazy mix in this family, keeping busy and having fun! I made this blog as a way for our family and friends to keep up with us. But good luck with that cuz I'm not the best at keepin' y'all updated!
There's 5 in the family. There's Dad - he's a motorcycle buff, building his own business, making parts for bikes. Plus he works hard at a full time job too. AND being a full time dad and our chef! There's Mom (that's ME - since I do most of the blogging). I'm a nurse, I like to go on motorcycle rides to though I'm having to sell my bike (boo!) and can't ride like I used to. I LOVE to spend time with my kids and wish I could do more of it! I'm the family chauffeur most of the time and the organizer. I'm also the photographer. (not the best but I try)
The kids are: D - the oldest boy. He's a self proclaimed nerd, obsessed w/ D&D (dungeons and dragons for those "not in the know", one of the original role playing games - NOT a video game! Imagine that! lol!). He also loves video games and computer games. He hopes to design/make video games one day. Or write plays. He's a theater buff too. He's in 9th grade and does outstanding! He's got a great sense of humor too - which usually drives his nana nuts! haha! T is the middle child and other boy. He's in 7th grade. He currently plays football and is in the honor band playing trombone. He's in a magnet program at school and is doing very well in school. He's got a GREAT laugh and has this way of doing or saying things that just touch my soul or make me laugh so hard. He's terrific! The youngest is G - the only girl. She's in 3 grade (or nerd grade as D puts it). She's learning spanish and like T, does very well with it. She did swim team over the summer, and dances during the school year. She's also in choir this year and like to join in UIL and other school activities. She's very active and is always in and out of the house. She's a spiritual soul too and has been the driving force with getting me to church most of the time, or getting us to read scriptures or having FHE. She's my angel.

Here's the danger of Obama: he can lull you into a sense of well-being. I watch him speak, and I feel his charisma, I want to believe! Amen hallelujah!
But then I turn off the TV and reality returns. And reality is, he's a scary, scary man. Not necessarily a bad man -- but a man with very scary beliefs.
So the problem is, some people don't return to reality when they turn off the tv. Or worse, they never turn it off to begin with. Welcome to Obama-world.
By their fruits ye shall know them. Not by their persuasive speech, not by their cute family, but by what they DO. And what he does is promote hard-left ideals that make me want to puke.
Yep...
I've accepted him as our president, but... he still gives me the willies to listen to him. He always has and probably always will. It's an "obama-nation!"
